Del Tha Funkee Homosapien offers up free new “stimulus package” album

Share this:

That’s right, former Hieroglyphics member and underground hip hop hero Del tha Funkee Homosapien will unleash his own “stimulus package” (see promo video below for his shtick) in the form of a new album more-than-aptly-titled Funkman. According to Del, there’s a recession of Funk in the hip-hop scene, to which the only remedy is…more funk! The follow-up to 2008’s Eleventh Hour is said to officially hit the web on April 7th, at which point it will become available here, however a click on that link would reveal that the album is already up for streaming and download. So yeah, don’t know what that’s all about. It doesn’t seem like he’s pullin the good ol’ Trent on us, either (that’s right, that was officially so classic that even though it happened yesterday, it’s “good ol’).

And if you’re simply too impatient for this “official release,” Del’s got the first two installments of his “Leak Pack” up for download right now. The news is a bit confusing, but to clear things up here are some incoherent ramblings from the man himself. Per Jambase:

It’s going to be sometime before any sensation captures people’s interest on a whole again like hip-hop did. I could be wrong, but I’m letting people know they need to mess with me in the meantime. People are jaded that’s all, and I don’t blame them – things come to the head, places switching – it’s a crazy trip!

Yep. Makes perfect sense on this end! Additionally, Del will make his way around parts of the US with an accompanying tour. Yeah. All this is happening so fast. Anyways, here’s his video about the “package” and a long list of tour dates follows.
